2023 TVC Troop Builder - Cantina Band 7-Pack
« on: August 25, 2022, 09:04 PM »
I'd like to know when Hasbro's going to announce Figrin D'an's counterpart, Nalan Cheel in the TVC line.  Would be nice to get the full band together.

It's definitely happening.  I bought two extras and gave them the old POTF2 accessories for now.

I still feel like the Modal Nodes would be a good army 'band building 4-pack'. Just swap out the three instruments Figrin came with and pack in the other four (include a stool for the sitting instrument) and you are all set.

It would, but you know Hasbro will make it a deluxe figure.

7 band members means buying two 4-packs and being stuck with one extra.

Hasbro will definitely do it this way.

Or, you buy 3x Figrin D'ans and 1x 4-pack?

I was counting on this when I only picked up 2 singles along with the one packed in the case. Hope we do get the 4-figure builder packs and not too far out in the future.

Same. I figured since he came with 3 instruments, that it it made sense they'd release the others in some kind of multi-pack.

I vaguely recall that during the Figrin reveal on Hasbro's livestream, Patrick mentioned something about the rest of the band in TVC, and that they have something special in mind that he couldn't spoil yet.

Well when you say it like that it sounds obvious. 🤦‍♂️

$250 Cantina playset with a small stage for the band.  You heard it here first.

Rob beat me to the punch...

===== my thoughts before clicked post=======
I recall that. And the more I think about it, the more I believe we will not be getting a builder pack but some kind of display that includes the remaining 4. Wasn’t there even a Modal Nodes convention exclusive years ago with music? I’m down with something like that. While I’m at it, I hope it’s one piece of a modular Cantina playset.  :)

A builder pack would be nice, though, as a less expensive way than carded singles to get figures for customs.

It’d just be nice to get some confirmation so we can plan accordingly.  Black series already has the whole band.

I'm afraid you might be right.  It should really be a $75 playset plus figures, but they'll add in all sorts of other crap (small tables and drink glasses) that will crank up the price.

Totally.  If the scale and detail are there… it had a legit bar… a few booths so Han can shoot Greedo first… and fits on a shelf the way they did with Jabba’s palace, I’d be down.
